...Elevated Winds and Waves Along Lake Huron Shoreline Tonight...
.A moderate late day northwest wind will gradually diminish tonight
as high pressure eases into the region and the gradient relaxes.
High pressure remains in control through Tuesday, leading to a
period of lighter winds. Winds become southwesterly and strengthen
Tuesday night in the wake of this high. Moderate southwest winds
will continue into Wednesday. Increasing overlake stability as
warmer air lifts into the region at the same time will limit gust
potential. Milder conditions under a modest southerly wind
will persist through Thursday.
